Held each September, Concours d’Elegance is Dayton’s premier antique and classic automobile and motorcycle show. Guests travel from across the map to witness this breathtaking display of “art on wheels”—some of the finest vehicles in the country.

Dayton Concours at Carillon Historical Park features around 150 antique and classic automobiles and motorcycles, and vehicles are judged for around 30 awards. While the theme changes year-to-year, nationally-recognized automotive artists, hand-built model cars, an automobile raffle, and other auto-themed attractions are standard for this acclaimed event.

Concours d’Elegance occurs on Sunday, but the weekend kicks off the night before with the Concours d’Elegance Preview Party—a casual, public event on the grounds of Carillon Historical Park. The Saturday evening gala previews select Concours automobiles and feature an automotive art pavilion, music, silent auction, food, and beverages.
